Asking Canadians who recently had a 'wellness check' from the RCMP

[Chronicoverwhelm]

I got my 1am wellness check last Saturday as a result of the whole SN fiasco. What I'm wondering now is, will they be back? Is my medical file flagged now? Will my treating medical professionals get notified? The RCMP had a file number for me- does that ever go away or will it always be in the system? If I end up in the ER for something like an asthma attack for example, will a flag come up under my name?
*I understand that possibly, no one knows these answers but I appreciate anyone's thoughts.

Idk but following. I remember asking if there would be any future wellness checks, and they told me they wouldn't if I promise to call the 24/7 crisis line if needed I am never answering the door again.

And jesus they came at 1 am?? Fuck is wrong with people

I also live in Canada. I've had a few wellness checks happen with the police as well. They will only come back if someone reports a concern about you harming yourself again to them. So be careful what you tell people. Your treating professionals will likely get notified, especially if this is for mental health problems and you are connected to a psychiatrist. The file number will always be in the system. I've had file numbers from 18 years ago that the police can still see when they do a check on me in their computer. If you didn't go to the hospital for mental health/suicide reasons, there shouldn't be a flag coming up in your name when you do go next to the hospital. However, if you do end up being hospitalized for mental health reasons, my experience is if you return to the same hospital, the nurses and drs look at your file in the computer and start talking to you like you're a seriously ill mental health patient. They disregard your medical concerns sometimes because they think you're mentally ill. Take care and hang in there.

Be careful about calling crisis line and what you say to them. I called the crisis line and in 15mins, there was a knock at my door and it was the police. I have not called the crisis line since. I do not trust them. They can find out your address without you telling them and even if you call from a blocked caller ID. I don't know how they do it. But that was my experience. Yes, the police come at all hours of the night. Even if you live in a apartment and require to be buzzed in, they'll turn their sirens off when they get close by and buzz your neighbour to get in. Ive had it happen to me.

Thanks so much for the detailed info. I am terrified with how I am going to be treated after having this on my record. I already feel like my medical concerns have been disregarded pre-mental illness, so imagine now lol. This wellness BS is making me want to rip my hair out. They are also calling me saying that they can do xyz when all I want them to do is fuck right off!!!!!!!!!

Yesss thanks for the heads-up. I was lying to them to get them to leave lol , but I never have and will never call a stupid scripted hotline!! I don't trust them at all either and I am so sorry you had to experience that first hand. It's awful hearing these stories of cops coming in and forcing involuntary ward stays over a single phone call.

1 AM! Police came to my place at 2 PM, and they seemed surprised when I told them other people are being bothered by wellness checks at 2 AM and 4 AM

Here in the US, one of the cops just gave me his card, and they seemed to understand that neighbors might question why police are at my door, they gave me no indication that they would ever be back

Thank you so much. Grrreat, I AM connected to a useless psychiatrist I've been forced to keep seeing her for the past couple of years by my insurance company who pays my disability payments. I guess I can't ask my GP for a script for an antiemetic now Not happy to hear about the file number staying in the system. I will never ever call a crisis line as I'm not looking for help and I guess I've never been wired to seek out help anyway. Thank you so much for all the info. It helps to know what to expect. You take care as well, hugs.

This is one of the reasons why we can't trust anyone, we live in a society with a secret police and of course you could never tell anyone you're suicidal like this.

Yes. I'm very careful how I word what I have to say and I don't go telling workers I'm thinking of suicide. I have told them I'm thinking of applying for maid in Canada next year for mental illness. That's legal and they can't do anything about that.
